The latest in regulatory outrage

Classical Values details the thuggishness of yet another federal agency, the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Some nations descend into tyranny through the sudden chaos of war or violent revolution; others – like the UK and possibly the USA – seem to be slipping into it gradually through a long period of submission to incrementally larger doses of statist encroachment on individual liberty, the whole process having a narcotic effect on the human will. The domestic enemies of our constitutional freedoms are highly visible ; but we must be equally vigilant in guarding against those faceless foes that go by the names of complacency, apathy and despair. Make the leftists fight for every inch of ground, and never yield anything for fear of censure by “polite” society – it is better to be censured by sheep than censored, and worse, by the wolves that would ultimately displace them.

"better to be censured by sheep than censored, and worse, by the wolves"

Loved that phrase, read it over and over.

A fine keynote editorial, sir!
